Fun bar (Bennigans) attached. Housekeeping is doing a great job, including daily room cleaning which I really like and don't see much anymore. Pool and hot tub are good. The gym is really small by any standard and doesn't have much there. The breakfast is not a good value. It's equivalent to a free breakfast in most places and they're charging $17 for it. A bit of noise (knocks and bangs) throughout the night prevented me from getting good sleep.
